“I’m a man of my word,” said Griffey. “And when you owe a man $1,500,
you pay him. And I’d like to thank the lovely people at National City
Bank for helping me with this joke. There isn’t a whole lot you can do
with pennies. Just think, each box weighs 16 pounds, so the man has 60
bowling balls in his locker.”

There are so many reasons that almost everyone is a fan of Griffey's and you can add the fact he's still having fun as he closes in on 600 homers to that long list. About the only person who might not appreciate this will probably be the guy stuck behind Fogg at Best Buy as the pitcher tries to buy a new flat screen with all those copper Abe Lincolns.
